A former Iowa school superintendent who was entrusted with educating American children has pleaded guilty to serious federal charges after being exposed as an illegal alien who lied about his citizenship and illegally possessed firearms.

Ian Roberts, the former Des Moines school superintendent, entered his guilty plea in federal court Thursday on charges of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship for employment purposes and being an illegal immigrant in possession of firearms. The case exposes yet another glaring failure in our nation's immigration system - and raises serious questions about how many other illegals are in positions of authority over our kids.

Think about this, Patriots: This man was responsible for shaping the minds of Iowa's children while living a lie about his very identity. How did he slip through the cracks? What kind of background checks were actually conducted?

The Perfect Case for Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda

Roberts' arrest and conviction couldn't come at a more perfect time, as President Trump ramps up his promised mass deportation operation. This case proves exactly why we need comprehensive immigration enforcement - illegal aliens aren't just picking strawberries, they're infiltrating our most sensitive institutions.

Under the Biden regime, cases like this were swept under the rug while the administration focused on attacking parents at school board meetings instead of removing illegals from positions of power. Now, with Trump back in the White House and a real commitment to enforcing our laws, we're finally seeing justice.

The fact that Roberts was also illegally armed makes this case even more concerning. Here's someone who broke multiple federal laws while being paid by taxpayers to run a school district. It's the kind of systemic failure that the America First movement has been warning about for years.

With ICE now unleashed under the Trump-Vance administration, expect to see many more cases like this. The deep cleaning of our institutions has only just begun, and it's long overdue. How many other illegal aliens are hiding in plain sight in positions of trust throughout America?

I've been saying for years that we don't do enough vetting of administrators. Our school board rubber stamps these hires without asking the tough questions.

Same here! Time to start showing up to more board meetings and demanding answers.

Thank God for ICE doing their job despite all the political pressure. This is why we need strong immigration enforcement.

In my 30 years of teaching, I never saw anything like this. The fact that someone could rise to superintendent level without proper documentation is mind-blowing.

This is exactly why we need mandatory background checks for ALL school employees! How did this person get cleared to work around our children?

Background checks only work if people are in the system legally to begin with. This is the real problem.

What kind of message does this send to kids about following the law? Unbelievable that this person was in charge of education while breaking federal law.

Exactly! How can you teach kids about citizenship and following rules when you're breaking them yourself?

Armed AND illegal? My tax dollars were paying this person's salary while they broke our laws. Absolutely disgusting.

Finally some justice! Wonder how many other districts have similar problems they're not catching.
